PC. Already got a rig that's technically better than a PS4, now it all comes down to optimization. I know Bioware will do a better job of optimizing for PC than those a-holes at Ubi who think there needs to be a "console parity" and lock up certain settings in the games as a result.
Hey, it's not like they could do any worse!
But yeah. I'm looking forward to seeing how stunning DA:I looks on PC in all of it's Frostbite glory.

I'm not sure my PC will handle it, it's getting old now 
just mentioning upgrading hurts my bank.

Yeah but it just annoys the crap out of me on how they treat their PC user base like second class. Far Cry 4 is coming out for PC but apparently the consoles will be able to run at the same level as Ultra on PC. Does that mean they figured out a way to get better performance on consoles? NOPE! They did the reverse, basically locking down the PC settings to medium and renaming it to Ultra. I was really looking forward to AC:U but not anymore, F*** Ubisoft.
Just want to add something here, for the OP. Edit your thread title and just call it PC, no need to get all douchy about the platform you game on. I'm already sick and tired of all the idiots both in corporations and communities going on and on about their platforms. Either you have fanboys, PC or console, ripping on each other 24 hrs a day, or you got console manufactures and other companies taking advantage of this rivalry and segregating the overall gaming community even further by their irritating exclusives, not to mention their backdoor deals with third party developers to limit games between consoles even more.
Console gamers aren't stupid. They chose the console because they like what it offers over what a PC does. PCs aren't perfect, and as PC owners we have to deal with any problems they give us, software and hardware. We already got this whole Nvidia Vs AMD going on, where now they think it's a good idea to mess with each other's tech. Next we have these game developers who either don't want to release games on our platform because "they're afraid of piracy"(Square Enix FFXV) or ones who release games on our platform as an afterthought. And don't forget we got no huge company with millions of $$$ to back us up and bring more games to our platform. So "PC Master Race", not so much.
Previous gen. I just don't have the money to buy a new console right now and there's no way my PC can handle it without major upgrades.
PC. who buys consoles anyway? that's like... for gaming only

Well, I play all such games as this on PC, because it's almost always a much better experience. I, just for reference, visited the same problem in Skyrim in both the console version and PC. And the differences were astounding. The problem was much more complex on the PC, was composed of 5 rooms and had to be solved by wit. On the console it was 3 rooms and could be solved by trial and error. And don't even get me started on the details and graphics.
And on the PC, I can play it on my 30'', 16X10, color calibrated monitor in 2560 X 1600, and I can enjoy the 'swung' that a 64-bit OS with access to 32GB ram and a SSD can provide. So seriously? Why would I buy the console version?
That said, I usually buy the consoles to play different types of games on. And the new generation of consoles are very positive. They will probably lag behind the PC in the graphics department in the usual way, but that's tolerable I think. What's important is that for the first time, a console generation has abundant ram and processor resources which can handle code with massive conditional content well.
This means that games are going to evolve, and hopefully go off in directions, which were hinted by PC games, before the XB360 and PS3 took control of publishing.
I would think DA:I on a PS4 would be an OK experience. I'm more dubious about old-gen consoles.
Yes to PC Nobility or Laptop Commoner.
No to Console Peasant, unless you cannot afford PCs or Laptops.
Definitely no to Apple Lowlifes under any circumstances.
Just like the "Cult of the Katana" drove me away from collecting Japanese swords, the "PC Gaming Master race" which was actually originally started by Benjamin 'Yahtzee' Croshaw as an ironic stab at PC culture and later adopted to literally reflect a person's self worth as a human being by people who couldn't fulfill their egos in other ways, drives me further and further away from the PC scene.
haha, thats really true, i made a similar case for this on another forum, but i drew a comparison between elitist *hardcore* gamers, and *casuals*. You cant find a way to validate yourself irl, so you look for ways to do it through games(and feel superior about it too).
sorry for the ot, back on topic. Im a pc gamer all the way, a total enthusiast who always gets the best stuff(ya i know its rare for a girl). On top of that consoles feel a bit inconvenient to me, you have to have a nice tv, and a place to put it, and then a place to put the console and keep all the controllers etc etc. With a pc youve got everything you need pretty much, the screen and chassis are for me much easier to place. Dont have a tv either because i see no need for it.
PC, I don't want to play the game at abysmal framerates.
How massive was your erection as you wrote this?
Lol, maybe a lot smaller than you and the rest of the forum usually assumes. 
(my fault and intentional)
Anyway, as things aren't what they seem: I'm not a PC-hardware junkie. Well, I am, - but not in your usual crazy, $$$$, overclocked TomsHardware way.
My latest - private - PC is on its 4'th year, and it cost me about $1100 to build, licenced Windows OS included. And that was only because I insisted on putting a Blueray drive and a SSD in it. Otherwise it'd be much cheaper. It handles all existing games well enough. Still. No replacement is planned. Only upgrades are more ram (cheap) and another 2TB drive (also cheap). Understanding how to max-out my PC $, then lets me invest in things like a nice monitor.
But the monitor isn't purchased for gaming. I'm a passionate photographer, so it's primarily needed for image development and editing.
Xbox One for sure. I played the last 2 games on PC though, but I vastly prefer comfy couch gameplay 
Can't beat comfy couch, controller and 55 inch TV with headphones!
and later adopted to literally reflect a person's self worth as a human being by people who couldn't fulfill their egos in other ways, drives me further and further away from the PC scene.
So, you don't get the joke then? You think those people are actually being serious? You think people are earnest when they use a Nazi parody to describe themselves.
Wow. Well, I guess there are always going to be people who don't get it.
PC. I loathe controllers. Even SteamBox is now dead to me since they revealed their rubbish controller that looks just like all the other shitty controllers out there.
See that is why I dislike Valve (and also because they simply have gotten too powerful, almost a monopoly as a retailer). They are trying way too hard to turn the PC into another console. If I wanted to play on a console I would own one already. Together with Ubisoft's nonsense of downgrading the PC version of the games they create I have the fear the PC as we know it could be done for in a not too distant future.
Well, the PC-gamers originally started to bug console players because they wanted to convince them to switch to PC.
Both for the reason that they wanted them to have a better experience, but also because they wanted to strengthen the PC's position. By then it was obvious that PC-games were threatened. Retailers and publishers wanted the entire market to switch to consoles.
Well into the XB360 and PS3 generation, it was clear that the fears had been warranted. We only get 'console'-games. On the PC too. There are no true major 'PC games' anymore.
Console gamers, though, didn't react to the constant needling in the desired way (of course not). Instead, a defense reaction and fan-boy polarization resulted in aggression and insults such as the "PC-Master race". In yet another value-reversal, the PC-gamers proudly adobted the label.
The valid concerns in all this, is that the consoles' domination definitely impacted game design and impoverished and converged gameplay. The light in the tunnel is that the new generation of consoles have removed these limitations (I'm not talking about graphics).
The karma is that those who originated the push for console-only game publishing, the retailers, are soo screwed (digital sales). PC gaming has continued to steadily grow (as always). They just don't buy games in shops anymore. And the retailers will probably lose the console customers too, eventually.
Not 100% decided, which is why I haven't pre-ordered yet. But thanks to the DA Keep (I've been playing on PC so far) I'll probably get it on my PS4 this time.
In the future I'll get round to upgrading my PC so I'll probably buy it a second time on my PC then
